The real reason we retire.

[BILLY D.]

cal

two of my brothers are doctors. if something is wrong with me i email them.

i don't like being around a bunch of strangers anyway. i avoid malls, and i don't eat in restaurants. by doing those things i lessen my chances of getting lots of things i don't want to get.

i know you were raised in the states, whether you are from a big city i don't know. when i was a kid growing up almost every neighborhood had a doctor and a dentist. now you got to drive miles to some big medical complex and a visit costs you 50 times more. you used to be able to walk to a doctors appointment or at worst it was a short bus ride.

i'm lucky i guess, the only medical problems i have are glaucoma and a bad back. the eye thingy is under control and i just live with the back problems.

but i am starting to worry because i'm getting to the age when body parts wear out, break or fall off. i'll be 70 in a few months.

getting old ain't for sissies i guess.

good luck bud.
